Operating on the assumption that you have already removed the interior and shifter, here is my approach. Raising the rear and lowering the front makes it much easier. I remove bonnet and set aside. Disconnect all the electrical bits from the body to the engine, then all the fluid bits (including clutch slave line), exhaust and the front cross beam above the crankshaft fan extension. After that, the front wheels come off and set the front suspension off the floor just enough to slide the engine hoist arms under the frame, then raise the rear. The engine hoist is then wheeled in place from the front. The balance point is near the back of the cylinder head, so hook up, then remove all engine and transmission mounting fasteners. You can then come straight up an inch or so and start backing the engine hoist out from the front of the car. The transmission may need to be pushed down a bit and the engine raised up to clear the front bulkhead and radiator support, backing up as you go. Once clear of the bodywork, you can lower the unit down for the rest of what ever you are going to do.
